I've set this thread as "sticky" so it will stay on the top of the list, and will put the links on the reviews and other external resources of interest. You can of course give your feedback about the game here

Thanks!

On a real oric machine you need a Microdisc (it's one particular model of floppy disk drive for the Oric computers)
If you have a PC (window, linux, ...) you can play the game using an Oric emulator such as Oricutron.

Hi again. At last, I got myself a Microdisc and also a Cumana Expansion Box. The package hasn't arrived yet, but I'd like to know in advance, please, how to copy the Space: 1999 .DSK file onto an actual 3" floppy disc. May I use OmniFlop for that?

to create 3.5" disks. Then I replaced the 3" drive with a 3.5" drive in my microdisc. I will soon try to connect the 3" drive as a slave and copy all games to 3" disks.

Thank you very much!

I forgot to say: my Microdisc unit is a slave one, so there's only the disc drive itself within it, there's no interface whatsoever. I'll have to use the Cumana interface for the floppy to be controlled. Nonetheless, it's tested and working.
